Common questions
What does a typical day look like in expert AI training work?
Tasks are slow and careful. One task can take 45 to 60 minutes of checking citations or calculations, and you're judged on quality more than speed.
Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?
It's closer to teaching. You grade the AI's logic, correct its mistakes and write the expert reasoning it lacks, instead of producing work for a client.
What does Generalist work look like for an English Transcribers for AI Training?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As an English Transcribers for AI Training, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
English is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening to test for it.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $160 per hour of audio, a rate per hour of finished audio. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
Is the rate per hour of work?
No. It is per hour of finished audio, which is how the listing states it.
